Setting a new standard for new builds

Great design is at the core of everything we do and it’s an important part of our DNA. Everyone deserves a special home and that’s what we strive to deliver every time. It’s not only about design for us, but also the quality of the construction and the story behind the materials we procure for our neighbourhoods.

Before specifying and designing each development, we undertake extensive research into the expectations and demands of local buyers, blending this with the gs8 design flair that we’ve become known for.

Neighbourhoods attuned to what communities need

  • Play Spaces

    Play Spaces

    We weave play areas for children to discover and explore throughout our landscaping, with pedestrianised play streets, trail gardens and forest play spaces, all using natural materials.

  • Re-use and DIY Centre

    Re-use and DIY Centre

    Our Re-use and DIY Centres are an incredible community asset, functioning as a local 'Library of Things'. They provide space for residents to store, and share if they wish, infrequently used items: from lawnmowers to high chairs, dog pens to book libraries. They also include a DIY workshop providing tools for home improvements and a bike repair station.

  • Biodiverse Landscaping

    Biodiverse Landscaping

    Our goal is always to enhance and improve the landscape we build upon, so you will find restored woodland, meadow and wetland areas across our neighbourhoods, interwoven with green streets, native planting, fruit trees, allotments and edible planting for residents and wildlife to enjoy.
